You’ll find the pattern is written in such a way that you can modify the width or length very easily to suit your size or outfit. Imagine adding fringe!

Customer Appreciation:“I’ve been looking for a shawl to crochet for my wedding in May- I want one that will be long enough for a shawl but also broad enough for a veil, or a head covering during the wedding. Most are too heavy but this is so lacy!
I will also make a shawl for my sister who is my bridesmaid. Thank you!”

Pattern is worked back and forth without seams. Work in multiples of 2+4. The turning chain counts as a stitch. All double crochets are worked in the front loop only with the exception of the last double crochet of the row being worked in both loops of the 3rd ch of the turning ch.

You could start with the same number of chains, plus 1, and turn at the end, but I don’t recommend it as you will not have the elasticity required to match the finishing side and your shawl will bow like a hammock. 🙂

Sc requires that you make a chain for the foundation while fsc (foundation single crochet) means that you are creating the chain as you create the stitch. It allows for your starting end to be as flexible as your other end and your work is not lopsided. Great question!

For some reason when I was fooling around with the pattern it does not look as lacy as yours so I ordered one on PDF and it is the same pattern. Yours looks like it has a V shape attached to the DC. Am I crazy? Also what weight is the yarn? I am just wondering what I am doing wrong. Thank you. Lovely picture.
